Remote Dog Adventures

REMOTE ADVENTURES
The Remote Adventures group class combines superior dog training amongst distractions in the real world with cutting edge technology.  Remote collar training is a very effective and humane training system that is easy for your dog to understand.  This equates to fast and reliable learning.

Remote training collars can be set at very low levels of stimulation which can be used just like a tap on the shoulder to gain your dog’s attention.  Dogtra collars (sold by Michael) also have a pager function which simply vibrates the collar.  These attention getting features make the tool a perfect communication device for training your dog to perform reliably in the real world.

So, if you desire to have off leash control with your dog, join the Remote Adventures group class. You will enjoy taking your dog's training to the ultimate level!  The four week class program is only $100.00.

Mike,

I just wanted you to know, that you getting him (Keeper) in the collar (remote training collar), and showing me how to work with him and the collar, has allowed Keeper to do something healthy, and fun for him, not to mention how happy I am to have him back at the dog park.

He is starting to relax and get back to the way he was when he was younger (Keeper was attacked by another dog at a dog park when he was younger).  With only a rare nick at low levels, he is doing great.  Today, he was very interactive with all kinds of dogs, he even played a bit.
 
I know my working with him has a part in it, but you have yet again, improved the lives of a pet and his owner.  Thank you again.  I look forward to a possible advanced class for Striker, and or more private lessons soon.
 
Your student, and fan.

"My dog, Keller, was a rescue dog, and terribly phobic when I got her at 8 months.  She gradually adapted to life with me, and was relatively well-trained in a few months.  But I could not get her to stop pulling when I took her for walks.  When it came time for me to move out of my house and into an apartment where I would have to walk her instead of just letting her out the back door; I realized I'd better get her to stop pulling.  I was worried about having to take her out on a dark, icy winter morning and being pulled over by her.  Michael suggested the remote trainer, and when we began to use it, she responded like magic.  The difference in her behavior was like night and day.    I'm eternally grateful to Michael, and to the remote!"  ....Suzzane Antisdel

" I had never heard of a remote training collar ("shock collar") prior to Mike Burkey mentioning it to me.  As I use a wheelchair to get around and also have limited use of my hands, Mike thought it made sense for me to obtain Rocco's (Bernese Mountain dog) attention, if needed.  
At first, I was reluctant to use it, because I feared it would inflict pain.  Turns out, it doesn’t.  My caregiver uses it when Rocco is outside playing with his small group of friends (a practice he enjoys a few times a week). This has been a wonderful addition to not only the caregiver, but especially to Rocco, as well.  It offers freedom and flexibility, which enhances the experience for all.  The best part is, there is no pain to the dog.  If anything, it appears to be the equivalent of a tap on one's shoulder -- -- a gentle reminder that it's time to pay attention.

It also gives me security in knowing that Rocco is safe.  Overall, Rocco has become much happier and more obedient since Mike has entered his life. 
Rocco and Mike first met several months ago when Rocco did a board and train program with Mike.  Rocco continues to go for extended walks when Mike has the time.  He sends pictures and an occasional short movie of the fun they are both having!  This makes me smile, and Rocc is so happy and worn-out when he gets home!
I would recommend Mike Burkey to anyone who has a dog in need of training."  Lisa Lagone, Ann Arbor, Michigan
